Abstract
Human cloning is the asexual production of a human being whose genetic makeup is nearly identical to that of a currently or previously existing individual. Most scientists distinguish between two types of cloning reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning. In reproductive cloning, a cloned embryo is created and implanted with the intent of bringing the clone to term and birthing a genetically indentical individual. In therapeutic cloning, on the other hand, the goal is not to produce a cloned human or animal, but rather to create cloned embryos for research purposes, such as harvesting embryonic stem cells.There are two techniques for human cloning, somatic cell nuclear transfer and embryo splitting. The somatic cell nuclear transfer is the most common technique. It is the used in the creation of cloned sheep Dolly. It involves taking a nucleus from a somatic cell, placing it in an enucleated ovum.Human cloning is a matter for the medical profession’s attention since it would involve medical procedures and technology, and it may result in the creation of new genetic and psychological conditions that would require professional care. Therefore, the medical profession must evaluate the techniques, limits, benefits and ethics of human cloning. Human cloning, for whatever purpose, represent and abuse of scientific freedom, not its realization. This new technology should adhere to the standard that science should always serve humanity never that a segment of humanity would be created to serve science.
